SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB 

Control Number: 3060–XXXX. 

Title: Consummation of Assignments 

and Transfers of Control of Station 

Authorization. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: New collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 586 

respondents; 586 responses. 

Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. 

Total Annual Burden: 586 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality 

pertaining to the information collection 

requirements in this collection. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this new information 

collection to the OMB after this 60-day 

comment period to obtain the full threeyear clearance from them. The Federal 

Communications Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) is requesting that the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) approve the establishment of a 

new collection for consummation of 

assignments and transfers of control of 

station authorization. In addition, the 

Commission is requesting the OMB’s 

approval of mandatory electronic filing 

of consummations of assignments and 

transfers of control of licenses for all 

telecommunications services. 

A consummation is a party’s 

notification to the Commission that a 

transaction (assignment or transfer of 

control of station authorization) has 

been completed within a designated 

period of time. A consummation is 

applicable to all international 

telecommunications services, including 

International High Frequency (IHF), 

Section 214 Applications (ITC), Satellite 

Space Stations (SAT), Submarine Cable 

Landing Licenses (SCL) and Satellite 

Earth Station (SES) stations. 

Currently, applicants send multiple 

letters to various offices within the 

Commission for each file number and 

call sign that are part of the 

consummation. The new, proposed 

consummation module will eliminate 

the applicant’s requirement to notify the 

Commission by letter with the details of 

the consummation. With this new 

collection, the applicant will complete 

an on-line form (consummation module) 

in the Commission’s electronic 

International Bureau Filing System 

(‘‘IBFS’’). After the applicant enters the 

FCC Registration Number (FRN) in the 

form, the system will generate a list of 

file numbers and call signs that are 

related to the FRN. The applicant can 

select the file numbers and call signs 

that are part of the consummation. The 

consummation module: (1) Saves time 

for the applicants and the Commission 

staff because the information is readily 

accessible for viewing and processing 24 

hours a day/7 days a week, (2) 

eliminates the applicants completion by 

paper and mailing of letters, and (3) 

expedites the Commission staff’s receipt 

of consummations in a timely manner. 

The Commission has authority for this 

information collection pursuant to 47 

CFR 1.767, 25.119, 63.24(e), 73.3540 

and 73.3541. Without this collection of 

information, the Commission would not 

have critical information such as a 

change in a controlling interest in the 

ownership of the licensee. Furthermore, 

the Commission would not have the 

authority to review assignments and 

transfers of control of satellite licenses 

to determine whether the initial license 

was obtained in good faith with the 

intent to construct a satellite system. 

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
